Fight the ticket, it will only cost ya some time out of your day. Tell your story, seriously; the cop said he smelled weed as you drove by with your windows shut, come on. Then let the judge/advocate know you where offended by the treatment and disrespect they showed by profiling you as a common criminal. Make the tint a secondary issue, citizens should not be Profiled and harassed. Ask the judge if you should make a complaint against the officer. The officer told you if you had rolled the window down completely - no ticket would be issued. Really...... Let the judge know you understand the officer must of been having a bad day, but that's no reason to take it out on you!

Quick story: 1am I pull off the hiway and tearing down the off ramp Bang, my radar detector starts clicking, so I slow down to the speed limit. As I go around the rotary at the bottom of the off ramp, there he is sitting in the parking lot looking for speeders. I drive past heading home and of course he pulls out and follows me. Tailgating, you bet, my radar detector is Screaming full blast and the cop is three feet off my ass, for a mile plus, so I know he's already running my plate. I keep it right at 50, the posted speed limit, and sure enough the Blue Lights come on.

First question; you know why I pulled you over, and I say "well I know I wasn't speeding" and he snaps back "well you sure came around that Rotary fast" and I said "Really?" Then he tells me I was driving on "the fog lane/line". And I'm like What the Heck is that, I never heard of that, (the white line along the shoulder). If anything I was much closer to the center line I said, which immediately snapped me into reality when the officer responded with "Are you calling me a Liar."

Call it an immediate Epiphany moment, I knew I was Screwed, and nothing I said mattered. After fifteen minutes sitting waiting he comes out of his car and he hands me a warning ticket. At the same time an on coming state trooper with lights on stops to see what the deal is, they have a few words and both take off in the same direction.

A Muscle Car, 1am, cop took his chance that it coulda been an arrest, alcohol/drugs, all possibilities in this scenario. But none of those circumstances where there, just got off work and was heading home. But the bottom line is the officer pretty much has free rein. Who's gana call the cop a liar???
